Do we become bitter or better?

We don’t have a choice about whether or not bad things happen to us.  Bad things happen all the time.  Whether it is someone doing you wrong, or something that happens, like the loss of a loved one.  The only choice we have is how we respond to the wrong done to us.  Do we let it build up into resentment and anger or do we let it go and allow God to make us better? 

“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.  See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many”. Hebrews 12:14-15

If we learn to forgive the wrongs done of others we find peace and with peace come true joy.
